About Me

I feel very fortunate to have a job that combines my passion for movement and rehabilitation with the opportunity to help people. My approach to physical therapy is primarily to do a thorough and comprehensive evaluation while developing a personal relationship with the patient to foster a strong therapeutic alliance. After determining how physical therapy can help them, I emphasize educating my patients to ensure a complete understanding of their diagnosis and the role of physical therapy. We together come up with a list of treatment options including exercise, manual therapy, and other strategies which help the patient return to activities that are meaningful to them. My care is focused on the patient's goals and how my training and specialty can help them return to a health and active lifestyle. I treat patients with all orthopedic diagnoses and have a passion for conservative and post-surgical shoulder rehabilitation, lower back pain, and sports rehabilitation. Additionally, I have a passion for teaching and work as a teaching assistant in Duke's DPT Program. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy hiking, road biking, reading, working out at a local CrossFit gym, and spending time with friends and family.
